A worker was stabbed to death Wednesday morning during a fight with another man at a business on Industrial Boulevard, police said.

A suspect, identified by police as Jose V. Barron of Grand Prairie, was arrested without incident at another business in the area.

The victim was identified as Ricardo Muniz, 42, of Irving, according to the Tarrant County medical examiner’s office website on Wednesday.

Police responded to a report of a stabbing shortly after 9 a.m. in the 600 block of Industrial Boulevard. When officers arrived, witnesses told police that two temporary workers at Butterfly Valves and Controls Inc. had gotten into an altercation that led to the stabbing.

The suspect fled after the stabbing, police said.

Muniz was taken to Baylor Scott & White Medical Center, where he died.

Barron, who remained in custody Wednesday, faces a murder charge.
